X-axis
Horizontal number line
5.1
Inequality
Math sequence stating that 2 quantities aren’t always equal
Y-axis
Vertical number line
5.2
Relation
Any set of ordered pairs
Domain
Set of first elements(x-coordinates) of the ordered pairs
Range
Set of 2nd elements(y-coordinates) of the ordered pairs
Function
A relation in which each x-coordinate is paired with one and only y-coordinate
5.3
Vertical line test
Used on a graph of a relation to determine wether it is a function
5.4
Mathematical modeling
Process of graphing data to study the shape of its distribution
Interpolation
Determine new points between of known points
Extrapolation
Determining new points outside of known points
5.5
Function rule
Equation that pairs each member of the domain with an element of the range
5.6
Direct variation
A function in which the ratio of variables is a nonzero constant, k
Directly proportional
Quantities said to vary directly or to be directly proportional
Constant of variation
The constant k
Inverse variation
A variation in which the product of the two variable is a nonzero constant, which is k
Inversely proportional
Quantities said to vary inversely
5.7
Translation
Movement of a graph
Vertex
